GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

One of the best things that auburn high, has to offer is there amazing CTE programs, from the Automotive class I found my dream career.

With that being said the biggest thing the school needs to change is about saftey, for the 4 years I was there they never took any drils seriously.

Good school. Lots of kids are in really tough spots (that isn't always apparent) which lowers the graduation rate, but it makes for a stronger student body. Not a vague experience, and exactly what I needed.
